Flowers for Actresses.
E'roln the oh iI0fyeJ,iA;n Tin, 90

There isn't night at some of the theatres
that messenger boy doesn't carry big bou-
quet to the box office for some actress. The
bouquets range in price from 81 to $50. Men
who have no acquaintance with the actress 90 to
the theatre, become Smtten with her and the
next night rush into florists and commit the
folly of buying her flowers. Men usually send
their cards and address attached to the bouquet.
Some send letters begging the acquaintance of
the actress. The different methods of present
ing floral tributes to favorite actresses and
singers is curious to remark In the old days they
were thrown upon the stage at the feet of the
favored artistic and came directly from the hand
of the donor Occasionally the card of the giver
was attached to the floral tribute. Nowadays
it is the custom to hand the floral trib-
utes over the footlights This is done by the
ushers, and as the usher marches down the
centre isle with the floral design everybody in
the audience knows what is going to happen
long before the presentation. The usher crouch IS
behind the leader of the orchestra and waits for
his opportunity. Generally the actress knows
what is going to happen, and frequently the
sight of the flowers upsets her, spos the effect
of the scene and mars the artistic result of the
act To a good many theatre goers the pre-
sentation over the footlights is annoying, and
old play -goers have been heard TO remark that
they hoped the old way of throwing the tributes
on the stage would again become popular be-
leving that the tribute appears more spontane-
GUS and therefore more natural.

Our Advertisers

The advertising columns of the MORNING
/ News show conclusively that Savannah's
business men are progressive and enterpris-
| ing. They not only advertise literally, but
they show excellent judgment in the COM
position of their advertisements. About
every advertisement indicates that the adj
vertiser understands and appreciates the
value of a well written announcement Of
the character of his business and the induce
ments he has TO offer TO the public. His
aim appears to be to kindle III the public mind
a kindly interest in his business as well as
to make known the quality and prices of
his wares.
The advertising in the MORNING NEWS is
rs varied as the business of the city. 1t in
cludes the card of the broker or professional
man, which, in a simple and dignified way,
calls the attention of every possible client to
him; the more pretentlous advertisement of
the dealer in dry goods or groceries, or in
articles which are needed in the various
trades and occupations, all set forth in choice
language and in an attractive shape; the
clean cut advertisement of the mechanic who
offers his services, or of the manufacturer
who presents the articles of his production
to those whose wants lead them toward him;
the caterer to those who have money to
spend for articles intended only for adorn-
ment, or to crafty the taste for the beauti-
full or for the amusement Of children; in
fact, the columns OF the MORNING NEWS
include advertisements from about all who
are in any way engaged in supplying the
wants of people, whether they are rich or
poor.
All these advertisements are signs point
ing out TO purchasers where they should go
to buy what their necessities or inclina-
tions demand. They are often the rhetoric
rather than the logic of business. They sug-
gest wants and lead people to make pur-
chases, at the same time directing their at
tention to the places where they can get
what they desire. Advertising also makes
that immense sum which is daily circulating
through the hands of the masses flow more
freely and rapidly. Liberal advertising is
a sure sign of a healthy and active business
community.
1t is for the purpose of calling attention
to the evidences of the enterprise and pros
perity of Savannah as presented in the
pages of the MORNING News that this arti-
Gle is written. Savannah's merchants,
professional men and mechanics may well
feel pride in their city as it appears to the
thousands who read its newspaper

Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, Canada. is
40 longer champion of the world He was
defeated at Australia Saturday by William
Beach for the third time in as many years.
Hanlan was once great oarsman, probably
the greatest the world has ever seen, but he
has had his day and run his course. The
cause of his sudden downfall is attributed
to lack of care. Hanlans success brought
him money as well as glory and his place in
Toronto bay is visited by thousands of
strangers every day during the summer
season, and in fact contains a fortune for
its owner But Hanlan, like many others,
could not stand prosperity, and instead of
sticking to hard work and substantial food
he INDUCED in cumming, it is said, and the
life of dissipation he led has had its effects
upon his system. His collection of prizes at
Hanlan's Island in Toronto bay on many
of which is inscribed his name and the
word champion" will have little interest
for him now, and it may be that his recent
numerous defeats will have tendency to
lessen the public desire to see them.

Bohemian Music.

From the NeU York Journal.
A little Frenchman with black bottle, and a
wandering Italian minstrel with an Eolian harp
stopped in front of Frenchs Hotel The Italian
played the harp in the regulation iron steamboat
style, but although he banged at it as If it were
banjo, you could scarcely hear it for the me-
lodious strains of an unmistakable piccolo. The
Frenchman, however, had no piccolo. He was
whstlng. The 'Marseillaise,' a bit of the
Barber of Seville" and other tunes issued from
his plant lips, and then he stood on his head on
the bottle and whistled the 'Star Spangled Ban
ner." Pennies and buttons and matches ratified
into his cap because he had whistled so well.
The Freuchman said that he learned to
whistle as the birds learn to sing He was born
in Rouen. and had whistled all over the world
for twenty-five years. He had been in Italy,
Germany, Belgium, Holland, France and En-
gland He was able to whistle fifty different
pieces, including several whole operas, but of
all tunes he liked best to whistle the ''Marseil-
laise." He believed that he had whistled it
fully 10000 times. Two years ago be landed in
the United States. People in this country didn't
appreciate cultivated and artistic whstng, and
often he had to whistle all day for a dollar. He
had to whistle for every cent he got. He was
able to whistle five hours without stopping, and
often had done it.

The Nicaragua Canal Scheme


The steamer Hondo will sail tomorrow
from New York with the survey expedition
of the Nicaragua Canal Construction Com
pany The expedition will land at Grey
town and at once begin the work of making
the final surveys of the Nicaragua inter
oceanic canal route.
This expedition shows several things
First, that capitalists have put money in
this Nicaragua canal scheme; second, that
those who have put their money in it are
satisfied that it can be made a success, and
third, that they are confident that NJ de
Lesseps' Panama canal will prove to be a
failure for the want of means to carry it to
completion.
The Nicaragua Canal Company has re-
ceived from the government of Nicaragua
some very important concessions, for which
it has agreed to give money consideration.
These concessions were confirmed by the
so that now the enterprise is undertaken
with nothing apparently to obstruct it.
The route of the proposed canal is 1898
miles in length, of which 1919 miles are river
and lake, and there will be forty miles of
canal 1t is estimated that to open the
canal from Greytown, on the Atlantic, to
Brito, on the Pacific, will cost S64, 036. 1877.
If it costs double that amount it will prob
ably pay good dividend upon the money
invested in it.
OF course there will have to be locks
Lake Nicaragua, through which the route
runs the greater part of the way, is ITO feet
above the mean level of the sea- The locks
on either side of the lake will be sufficiently
commodious to accommodate the largest
steamers now used in ocean navigation
The forty miles of canal will have an
average depth of about so feet, and its
bottom width will vary from so to 120 feet
1t is expected that the canal will be opened
for business in 1892, and that at that time
the tonnage which will seek passage through
it will yield, at the rates charged by the
Suez canal, the magnificent sum of S16, 265,-
535 per annum. 1t is seldom, however, that
the estimates of the income of such enter
prises are not too high.

The Governor has appointed next Fri
day as Arbor day. 1t ought to be observed
throughout the State. 1t will be observed
in many of the towns, but if the people
could be brought to see the importance of
tree planting it would be observed in all of
them. Even the farmers could make Ar
Dor day very profitable one to themselves
by devoting the whole of it to the planting
of trees. If they don't care for shade trees
they might plant fruit and nut-bearing
trees. The time is not very distant when
! throughout all this part of Georgia the
finest kinds of pears, cherries, japanese per
simmons, peaches and other fruits will be
grown Why not begin the planting Of
fruit trees, such as will thrive in this section,
at once! If the farmers will plant fruit
trees about their premises where they will
answer as ornaments, provide shade, and at
the same time produce fruit they will not
regret it.
But Arbor day is especially set apart for
the planting Of shade trees. The purpose is
to turn the attention of the people to tree
planting, not only because of the material
benefits to be derived from trees, but, also,
because of the good effect which their beau
ty has upon those who are taught to appre-
ciate it. Every town in this or
any other State which Is adorned
with shade trees is proud of them,
and its citizens never miss an opportunity
to refer to them in terms of appreciation.
In homes which are shaded by grand old
trees there is certain TO be refinement, and,
as a rule, happiness; and in well shaded
towns the homes always appear to be more
attractive than those in which no attention
is paid to the cultivation of trees and flowers.
OF course, there are hundreds of thou
sands of acres of virgin forests in this State
and it will be years before the bad effects of
the destruction of the forests are percepti-
bly, felt, but the time is coming when, if
the planting of trees is wholly neglected,
droughts and floods will take the place of
the regular rains with which the State is
blessed
The great plains of the West which, a few
years ago, were almost bare, are being
gradually beautifed with trees The farm
houses are surrounded with them, and the
roadways leading to them are adorned with
them. Groves are being planted, and they
not only add greatly to the beauty of the
country, but they afford grateful protection
to cattle from the blazing sun of summer
and the death-dealing blizzard of winter.
Let next Friday be distinguished in this
State for the number of trees planted.

PiOneerS of Anarchy

Mr.. Eli Thayer, of Massachusetts, who
was one of the most prominent of those who
were engaged in making Kansas free
State several years before the civil
war, by sending immigrants and arms to
Kansas from the free States, has written a
rather remarkable letter to the View York
Sun, in which he points out fiat William
Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Philips and John
Brown are largely responsible for whatever
there is of anarchism in This country.
1t is quite true that the Anarchists pre-
tend to regard Jobu Brown as a hero and a
martyr, and that they refer to him fire.
quently in their meetings in terms of high
est praise In fact they indorse every word
that Wendell Phillips ever said of him, ana
lately they have found satisfaction in speak
ing of him as an Anarchist, and in holding
his memory in the same respect as they do
the memories of the Anarchists who died
on the scaffold at Chicago. AA w
Eli Thayer knew John Brown very we'll
The picture which he draws of him shows
that if Brown was the kind of man the
Anarchists admire, they are much worse
than they have been generally believed to
be. OF John Brown Mr.. Thayer; says:
1t is no wonder, then, that the Anarchists
of to-day acknowledge their rightful king,
and sing at their nocturnal conventions
John Brown songs. This is the most appro-
pirate commentary we have yet bad upon
the character of Garrison and Phillips
martyr and saint Their eulogies found
echoes in feeble pulpit utterances and oc-
casiQnally in public lectures. In this way
the deadly virus of anarchy infected and
poisoned public sentiment.
But what did John Brown do? In Kansas
he dragged from their beds at midnight
three men and two boys and hacked them
in pieces with two-edged cleavers in such
way that the massacre was reported to be
the work of wild Indians. If any butcher
in New York city should hack and slash to
death his own hogs and steers as John
Brown hacked and slashed to death these
men and boys in Kansas, he would be ar
rested and imprisoned without delay.
After this Brown slew an unarmed, inof-
fensive farmer in Missouri In his murder
Gus raid at Halper's Ferry, the first man he
slew was a negro engaged in the discharge
of his duty at the freight station there.
To the above should be added the robbing
of stores in Kansas the stealing of horses,
the invasion of Missouri, and the stealing of
about 81 900 worth of oxen, mules, wagons,
harness, ard such valuable and portable
property as he could find He was a merci-
less and most interruptions jayhawker.
There are good many men in New Eng
land who still reverence the name of John
Brown, and who think that Phillips and
Garrison were the greatest men of their
day. Assuming that Mr.. Thayer's view of
them is the correct one, those who have
been accustomed to eulogize them will feel
less inclined to do so now, perhaps. Those
who were loudest in praise of them as
Abolitiooists can have no respect for them
as pioneers of anarchy.
